Key Responsibilities

  • Build, optimize, and support pipelines that land data from source systems into the Databricks lake house and curate it through a layered (medallion) architecture into trusted, analytics-ready datasets.
  • Implement data quality, governance, and monitoring controls (e.g., Unity Catalog, automated testing, alerting) across lake house pipelines.
  • Develop and maintain reporting and analytics solutions — semantic data models, dashboards, and reports — and perform ad-hoc querying to support business decision-making.
  • Gather requirements, design, and develop new data integrations or enhancements to existing code.
  • Partner with business users and the Business Relationship Management team on requirements gathering, testing, and supporting existing integrations, analytics, and reporting.
  • Create and maintain documentation and process flows for integration solutions.

Required Experience & Skills

  • Minimum 5 years of IT/technology experience spanning data analysis, data engineering, and/or data integration, with a focus on building and curating pipelines in a cloud data lake or lake house environment.
  • At least 3 years writing SQL/NoSQL queries, with specific experience in MS SQL Server, Oracle, and/or Postgres.
  • Hands-on experience with a modern cloud data platform / lake house (Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, or comparable). Databricks strongly preferred.
  • Demonstrated experience landing data from diverse source systems into a lake/lake house and curating it through a medallion (bronze-silver-gold) architecture into clean, conformed, analytics-ready datasets.
  • Strong Python skills for data engineering, including PySpark.
  • Working knowledge of data quality, data governance, and pipeline reliability practices — automated testing, monitoring, alerting, and orchestration of batch and incremental/streaming workloads.
  • Experience designing simplified data models for integrations, analytics, and reporting; comfortable performing hands-on data analysis and ad-hoc querying.
  • Experience extracting data from source systems via web services (SOAP, REST, Web APIs), XML, and CSV/Excel exports.
  • Experience building the data foundation and automation pipelines for analytics and AI/ML initiatives, and partnering with business users on LLM/GenAI use cases.
  • Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, IT, or a related technical discipline — or equivalent demonstrated technical proficiency.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills; fluent in English (oral and written).
